Sweet Carrot Fries
Healthy Sweet Fries Recipe!
My favorite junk food is french fries with mayo, Belgian style. I still have them once in a while, but more often I now go for healthier substitutes like roasted sweet potato chips or these baked carrot fries. They’re good both hot, right from the oven, and cold, as a fun sweet snack or lunch side dish. Playing with different varieties like purple carrots or parsnips adds color and flavor!
The Recipe
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
1 lb carrots
Sea salt
TOOLS
Baking sheet
Directions
Heat your oven (or toaster oven, if you’re doing a smaller batch) to 350°F
Depending on their thickness, cut the carrots either in half or in quarters, lengthwise
Drizzle with a little sesame oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and spices
Pop ’em in the oven and take a peek after 20 minutes. They could be done then, or you can leave them in a bit longer if you like yours softer and sweeter.
NOTES
I’m still after a healthy mayo recipe! If you have one, let me know :)
I would love to hear your thoughts!
